Yup, you are correct.

But then I realized, If I do so, am I breaking Blizzards rules? Are they breaking the rules? Why do they charge for their addon when it's not allowed?

The way they are getting around it is because they aren't charging for the addon they are charging for the access to their database and guides, as you suspected.

So.. Am I missing something? Is this allowed?

It's the same deal again as with Zygor. They aren't charging you for the addon itself, they are charging for their database and guides.
